Tire/wheel change on the road
Acme Tools, has this M-18 FUEL™ & M12 FUEL™ Mid-Torque & Ratchet Combo Kit for $379. Seems like a really good price, question is would this impact driver be a good choice to carry for my truck (3500) ...

If, as Old-Biscuit says, this is a 1/2" drive impact wrench and not just an impact screwdriver, it ought to get the lug nuts loose pretty readily provided they were properly torqued when the wheels were put on (and have not sat for years getting seized in place).
That being said, my tool of choice for my motorhome (which uses 140 ft-lb lug nuts) is one of the inexpensive 25" Harbor Freight breaker bars with the appropriate socket and, for the dually rear wheels, a 1/2" socket extension. I've never had any trouble breaking them loose with that, and it's a lot cheaper than an impact wrench and never needs recharging.
